NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 to Release on June 29

[btarunr]

NVIDIA could be advancing the launch of its GeForce RTX 4060 (non-Ti) graphics card from its July 2023 launch the company originally announced. Leaked documents shared by MEGAsizeGPU say that NVIDIA could make the RTX 4060 available on June 29, which means reviews of the card could go live on June 28 for the MSRP cards, and June 29 for the premium ones priced above MSRP. It was earlier expected to launch alongside the 16 GB variant of the RTX 4060 Ti, in July.

The RTX 4060 is a significantly different product from the RTX 4060 Ti the company launched in May, it is based on the smaller AD107 silicon. The card is expected to feature 3,072 CUDA cores, 24 RT cores, 96 Tensor cores, 96 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, compared to the 4,352 CUDA cores, 34 RT cores, 136 Tensor cores, 136 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, of the RTX 4060 Ti. The memory configuration is similar, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus, however, the memory speed is slightly lower, at 17 Gbps vs. 18 Gbps of the Ti. The RTX 4060 has a TGP of just 115 W. The company hasn't finalized its price, yet.



Update Jun 14th: NVIDIA confirmed the launch date on Twitter:

The GeForce RTX 4060 will now be available to order starting June 29, at 6AM Pacific.

So, if 3070 is little bit better than 4060 ti does it mean 3060 ti is better than 4060?

this just in, my gtx 1070 oc'd paired with a newer cpu, ties a 4060 non-ti!!!

haha i wouldn't be surprised, with as much of a shit show nvidia is pulling off

 

[Crackong]

And get beaten by 3060 12GB ?

lol no it doesn't. a 3060 is already like 40% faster than a 1070. And the 4060 will be a little bit better than a 3060 most likely. You could fit a water block and OC the crap out of it and still be nowhere close.

That's pretty much a given. 4060 Ti is barely 10-12% better than a 3060 Ti. 4060 is cutting about ~30% of the cores from 4060Ti. Even with some clock-speed boost, it would be a tall ask to match 3060Ti performance without DLSS/RT shenanigans.

Indeed. A 3060 is roughly similar to a 1080Ti in terms of performance. A 1070 can't hope to come anywhere close to that.

Isn't this card basically what 4050 should have been? AD107 and 128 bit. You get dlss 3 big whoop since that will be replaced with dlss 4.0 once 50xx series comes out. Sad times.

And dlss 4.0 will be replaced with dlss 5.0 when 60xx comes out. The never ending circle.

They are launching the 4060 earlier because reviewers would rip apart the 4060 Ti 16GB launched the same day and nobody would pay attention to the 4060.

 

[Bwaze]

But I'm sure reviewers will greet it with standing ovations. Recommended, although it has worse proce / performance than the last generation card.

But, but, but. You get dlss 3. Isnt that enough already?

 

[Chrispy_]

At least Nvidia is used to disappointing sales and cards sat on shelves.

If it launches at $300 it's gives the market nothing that it doesn't already have, so it will do what all the other 40-series cards are doing which is sitting on store shelves waiting for discounts

 

[veleciraptor]

269 USD Radeon RX 7600 is faster than 3600. And i think 4060 will be so much slower than 3060 without DLSS 3.0. So this card must be 229-249 USD. If it will be same price as AMD 7600, i will prefer AMD

it was sarcasm. calm down.

I think it will be like the 4060 TI in the sense that it's barely faster.

Wouldn't be surprised if the 4060 is like only 4-8% faster at 1080p than the vanilla 3060 and equal/slightly worst at 1440p. Pretty embarassing considering their asking 2+ year old 3060 price for basically same performance and worst ram/bandwidth (reviewers will play up the power draw and DLSS 3.0 but be forced to admit that the actual real world performance is embarassing)

 

[mb194dc]

Sales of consumer cards are greeeeaaat?

 

[N/A]

I think it will be like the 4060 TI in the sense that it's barely faster.

give or take 18% faster, give when 8GB is enough, and take when 8GB gets totally annihilated by the newer console ports.

4060 is basically a RTX 2080 or 2080 Super even with DLSS3. RTX 3060 is a RTX 2070.

But hey if RTX 5060 is as fast as a 80-class 2 generations back and that is 3080 this would be pretty fast. I'll take a 4060 now and save for the RTX 5070 equals the 4080.yeah

I wouldn't count on it. The 3060 has more cores and more VRAM. The 4060 has to be clocked out of the sky to be faster than the 3060.

Anyway, Nvidia will sell it somehow because people are gullible. Fake frames, anyone? Freshly baked fake frames!

Generational improvements too of course. 4070 and 3070 have same amount of cores, but the 4070 is about 30% faster, and has a fraction of the Render Output Units too. Core is clocked a good bit faster though.

4060 has 16% fewer shaders, but the same higher clockspeed like the 4070 to 3070. So I reckon it will still be a bit faster than a 3060. It also has fewer ROPs like the 4070 to 3070. Has slightly fewer TMUs too. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes in at 5-10% faster when the reviews come in.


Still a bad product for the price. Should have more RAM and a lower price. But people keep buying them so... meh. Other than the 3060 Nvidia are so stingy with RAM. I wish my 3080 had more than 10GB.

And the 4060Ti and 4060 only having 8 lanes is pure BS. I pity anyone on a PCIE3.0 board buying one of these cards.

Exactly my point. It'll be clocked out of the sky to deliver a few percent better performance in non-VRAM-sensitive cases.

And if someone makes a sour face upon hearing about the 8 GB VRAM, Jensen will add "but... but... fake frames!".

.....and all throughout the land, not a single shit was given that day.

What the hell happened with this generation?

When RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 came out, Jensen told us that the era of more performance for the same amount of money is over, and that Moore's Law is Dead (and shortly after tgat, Moire actually died).

But for the top two cards reviewers kind of could find a way to justify the price increase - we got the 50 - 60% generational uplift (standard, really, apart from couple releases) in rasterisation and ray-tracing, and on top of that - new technology, frame generation (although same can be said for every other generation, there's always something "ground breaking", even if it doesn't stick because it's too closed in).

But lower tier cards don't even remotely achieve normal generational uplift compared to their predecessors! Price is of course jacked up anyway, price / performance is abysmal, but Nvidia's marketing, and with it many reviewers are showing us frame generated numbers and applauding these sub-par releases.

Again, who are they fooling with this? Did their marketing look at the AI field at the start of this generation and decided that they don't need gamers this round, same as with cryptomining?

What the hell happened with this generation?

Nvidia probably realized that the average gamer will buy anything for any price as long as it's got a green-white logo on it.

But they arent, at least gamers aren't? Financial reports show large decline in revenue compared to last quarter and compared to last year - and that's with release of new generation when revenue usually shoots through the roof?

All they have right now are forecasts of large increase of sale for AI. Gamers need not apply, even gaming cards are being promoted as perfect accelerators for small, home AI uses, for example for Stable Diffusion etc...

True. They said somewhere along the lines that they are mainly a software company now, didn't they?
